One of my friends in Saguenay\u2014Lac-Saint-Jean is the only survivor of a head-on collision of two trains. The collision happened in the middle of the night, at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. My friend, who was in the locomotive pulling two trains of goods, said to his crew mate that he thought another train was coming because he had just seen the light through the trees. He was right. He was thrown from the car, but his companion died, as did the two crew members in the other locomotive. He was the only survivor.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2341780\" data-originallang=\"fr\">You are talking about fatigue, and you are suggesting an amendment that we will study seriously. Is the time spent waiting before work calculated? From speaking with airline pilots and cabin crew, we know that there is time spent waiting before starting work. It's not like someone shows up at work at 8:02 in the morning and the train leaves at 8:03. That's not how it works. I have never driven a train, nor have you, since you're a lobbyist, but how does that work?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2341778\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Vous avez bien r\u00e9pondu.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2341779\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le deuxi\u00e8me sujet dont j'aimerais que vous me parliez est celui de la fatigue. Un de mes amis du Saguenay\u2014Lac-Saint-Jean est le seul survivant d'une collision frontale entre deux trains. Cette collision s'est produite en pleine nuit, \u00e0 3 ou 4 heures du matin. Mon ami, qui \u00e9tait dans la locomotive tirant deux trains de marchandises, a dit \u00e0 son co\u00e9quipier qu'il pensait bien qu'un autre train s'en venait, car il venait de voir de la lumi\u00e8re \u00e0 travers les arbres. Il avait raison. Il s'est jet\u00e9 \u00e0 l'ext\u00e9rieur du wagon, mais son compagnon est mort ainsi que les deux personnes qui prenaient place dans l'autre locomotive. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le seul survivant.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2341780\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Vous parlez de fatigue et vous sugg\u00e9rez un amendement qu'on va \u00e9tudier de fa\u00e7on s\u00e9rieuse. Les heures d'attente avant le travail sont-elles calcul\u00e9es? Pour avoir parl\u00e9 \u00e0 des pilotes d'avion et \u00e0 des agents de bord, on sait qu'il y a des heures d'attente avant d'entreprendre le travail. Ce n'est comme si la personne se pr\u00e9sentait au travail \u00e0 8 h 2 le matin et que le train partait \u00e0 8 h 3. Ce n'est pas comme \u00e7a que \u00e7a se passe. Je n'ai jamais conduit de train et vous non plus, puisque vous \u00eates lobbyiste, mais comment cela fonctionne-t-il?</p>"
